Through years of studying hard, I'm teaching Chinese in a middle school. Some of my students come from other countries. Since they like Chinese history and culture, they carefully listen to me explain Chinese poems and novels. They spread Chinese history and culture around the world. |

China is much greener now because it has worked on protecting the environment. New energy is used without polluting Earth. I'm doing something common for our city. I keep our streets clean and tidy every day to make people live comfortably. I take pride in my job. Any job is a good job. |

In Beijing Winter Olympics, the most popular design (设计) with kids and teenagers is Bing Dwen Dwen, a panda in an ice shell (壳). It looks like an astronaut in a space suit (太空服), it's a perfect design which puts winter sports and modern technology together.
Bing Dwen Dwen puts up its left hand to say, "Hello!" It has two red hearts on its hands, showing kindness and love. The colorful lines around its head look like the tracks (赛道). They refer to (指代) Beijing's National Speed Skating Oval, known as the "Ice Ribbon" (冰丝带), they also refer to 5G technology.
According to the designer Cao Xue, Bing Dwen Dwen was chosen from 5816 designs around the world. The idea first came from the traditional Chinese snack (小吃), bingtanghulu. However, a simple snack can't stand for a country by itself. Cao's team then tried many plants and animals, finally going with a panda. "What can better stand for China than our national treasure?" said Cao. They once made three designs, and Cao asked his 9-year-old son to choose his favorite, "After his first glance, he chose Bing Dwen Dwen without thinking twice." Cao said.
Now Bing Dwen Dwen has been made into many kinds of toys and plastic models. It is printed on notebooks, bags and so on. It brings lots of joy to the world.
This is the word "family" written in Chinese "家". It's a pictographic character (象形文字). The "宀" looks like the roof (屋顶) of a house, and the "豖" is a pictographic character for "pig", which is developed from a picture like this:
The word "家" with a pig under the roof of a house may show the importance of domestic animals (家畜) to traditional Chinese families.
There is a strong feeling between parents, children and other family members. The father is usually very strict with their children. Parents work very hard to set a good example for their children, while children study hard. Brothers and sisters in the family are very friendly and helpful to each other. All the family members make an effort to live a happy life.
Our ancestors (祖先) will be part of our life and a warm memory forever. ▲ We remember our ancestors, not for any advantages for ourselves but to make our feelings more active. Whenever we think of them, they make us stronger inside.
Everyone values the idea of "making all the members of the family happy". We should all have this same idea as the great "China dream". There are thousands of families in China, just because every family goes well, China is getting better and better.

As we know, when the students finish the middle school, they may throw away their textbooks, though most of them are still in good condition. It is really a great waste!
I suggest that we should recycle these books. ⑴ On the one hand, we can save a lot of materials by recycling them. On the other hand, the students have made plenty of useful notes on the pages, they are very helpful to the following users.
At present, the whole country is calling on us to build a saving society. ⑵It is very meaningful to our country. In fact, in other countries, recycling textbooks is also popular.

Long long ago, people always walked barefooted (光脚的). A king happened to far into the countryside. He was greatly troubled because there were lots of broken on the road and they hurt his feet seriously. When he returned to his palace, he told his men all the roads with cattle hide (牛皮革). He hoped walking would no longer be a thing. But even if all cattle in the country were killed, there wouldn't be enough hide to get the work done.
They could do but shake their heads. At this time, a clever general in the palace made a (n) , "My king, why don't you take an easy way? You don't need to kill so many cattle. You cover each of your feet with a piece of hide." The king was surprised and pleased, and he his mind at once and supported the plan.
This is why people use hide to make shoes. it seems strange, it encourages us to think. It is usually to change oneself than to change the world. Try to put yourself in the position of the person you deal with. Then when you use another way of thinking, you will find it is not difficult for you to solve the problem.
Chen Jinying who is called "Honest Lady" comes from Lishui, Zhejiang. She is 90 years old. She used to be a boss. After she retired(退休), she opened a clothes factory and it went very well. In 2011, her factory was in trouble and she was in debt(欠债), so she had to sell her apartment and her factory to pay back her debt.
After ten years, she finally paid back all her debt. It's said that someone advised her to apply for bankruptcy(申请破产), then she could avoid paying back her debt, but she refuse. "I can't do that. When we're in debt, we must pay it back." The old lady sold most of her things to pay back the debt because of this faith. Some businessmen were so touched by this "Honest Lady" that they reached out to help her. When things became better, she gave away jackets worth more than 20,000 yuan to an old people's home and more than 140 persons received the warmth she passed.
Chen shows us how to be an honest and trustworthy(可信赖的) person. When one person loses his honesty, he'll fail. The 90-year-old lady not only moves us, but also gives us a true lesson in honesty.
The Communist Youth League of China (CYLC中国共产主义青年团) was born in May 1922. It is 100 years old this year. Almost every year in May, hundreds of teenagers get together at Tuanyida Square in Guangzhou. It is the place which the CYLC was born in.
In 1932, a special school opened in a small village of Ruijin, Jiangxi. It's the first school of the CYLC. Its first 124 students arrived in December. They were between 14 and 25 in age. They learned about history, politics (政治), geography and other skills. Every night, the students read books and newspapers. They not only learned knowledge, but also put what they learned into practice.
At that time, the young people who wanted to join the CYLC made the application form (申请书) by themselves. They needed to write why they wanted to be a CYLC member and how they would do it. Now the application form is printed in a standard form. The form might be different over time. However, the spirit of the CYLC has never changed.
Do you know the song of the CYLC? In 1987, Hu Hongwei wrote the lyrics (歌词). He sees young people as a sea of flowers in May and the rising sun. Later, Lei Yusheng composed (作曲) the song, it became the song of the CYLC in 2003.
